The Nokia N900 has been heralded as a mobile computer in smart phone’s clothing and it's brimming with features. Featuring Nokia's Linux-based Maemo operating system, the N900 certainly packs a punch.What we likeThe N900 comes with massive amounts of m...
All in all, the N900 is probably a grower, but you'll have to put in a lot of effort to fully appreciate it. Its size is a really prohibitive factor and one that might put a lot of people off, not to mention the keyboard which makes typing emails and t...

The Nokia N900 goes by a number of names; for example, it has been codenamed Nokia Rover. However, none of these names impact what is a very sleek and stylish mobile computer. While the Apple Tablet is eagerly expected, along with the LG netbook, Nokia...
The phone is beautiful, with hardware and software QWERTY keyboards and a resistive touch screen, It is powered by Maemo 5, the latest open source, Linuxcompatible Nokia operating system, It has massive amounts of storage space and RAM, Mozillapowered web browser...
The camera could have potentially been better, as 5 megapixel Carl Zeiss lens ones were available in Nokia 95s two years ago, The phone is very expensive, and does not seem to have features that can justify the price at all.

The fight for the best in the OS war is getting warmer with more and more entrant in the fray, though an ultimate winner seems no-where in sight. All new and old players are now coming out with loads of updated and advanced features which are making th...
